AI-Assisted Workflow for Occult Atrial Fibrillation Detection After Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Randomized Trial

Resumo breve

We hypothesize that an AI-guided AF risk stratification approach, particularly when combined with intensified rhythm monitoring using wearable devices and extended ECG patches, will significantly increase AF detection rates compared with standard care. By enabling earlier identification of patients who may benefit from anticoagulation therapy, this strategy has the potential to improve clinical outcomes while minimizing unnecessary exposure to anticoagulant-related bleeding risks. Ultimately, this trial seeks to provide robust clinical evidence supporting the integration of AI-assisted ECG analysis into routine post-stroke care, advancing precision medicine and optimizing resource allocation for patients with ischemic stroke.
